Verdict

It was fast ground when GREEN EARTH scored over track and trip last month. He's up 4lb but has tumbled down the weights this year and can follow up off today's mark. Uncle Fred is another on the slide but has yet to show any improvement for it and finished last on the Polytrack on his latest start while Final Delivery has beaten only one home in both starts on Turf since landing a double at Wolverhampton early this year. St Ignatius and Unbreak My Heart are in woeful form at present and readily overlooked.
